All means are good to have access to Michael Jordan among his biggest fans, including the most expensive. A world superstar has understood this, and would have decided… to buy the Bulls to attract the attention of His Airness!
Almost 20 years after his retirement, he continues to fascinate fans and observers, even the most famous. A model of success, both on and off the NBA courts, Michael Jordan regularly receives the admiration of pretty names. Most of the current NBA superstars are obviously at his feet, but other public figures also take him as an example.
Despite relatively modest career earnings compared to those of players in the league today, MJ has notably been able to forge a good brand image, which allows him today to sit on a colossal fortune. Many entrepreneurs are therefore trying to imitate him, including pop culture icons. Can in particular be cited a certain Kanye West, whose relations with His Airness prove to be complicated!
Kanye West soon to own the Bulls… for Jordan?
At the head of the Yeezy brand, which also shows great results in the sneaker market, West would love to collaborate with Jordan. But whether it’s by calling out to him in the media, or by posting an Instagram post for this purpose, he continues to be snubbed by His Airness. To remedy this, the famous rapper has obviously found a funny subterfuge, which he revealed in his recent featuring with Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys!

Once I buy the Chicago Bulls, I’m going to talk to Mike.
By becoming the owner of the Bulls, Kanye West thinks he can reconnect with Jordan, and thus be able to consider working together. A rather wacky plan, knowing that the current boss of the franchise, Jerry Reinsdorf, has a priori no intention of selling it. Anyway, not sure that the artist’s finances allow it.
Holder of a fortune of 1.8 billion dollars according to the latest calculations of Forbes, Ye alone does not have the funds to buy out the Bulls, whose value is estimated at 3.65 billion. He will therefore necessarily have to join forces with collaborators, like what Alex Rodriguez was able to do to take over the Timberwolves, to achieve this, and try to gain access to Mike!
Desperate, would Kanye West really think about buying the Bulls, or did he just want to drop a punchline in connection with Michael Jordan? In view of his recent escapades, the first hypothesis may seem quite plausible!
